Hi guys!

Sorry i'm a bit strange and this is also my first post. Hopefully i will get some serious helps from you guys!

I currently own a R33 GTST and it was running like a dream! About 2 days ago i tried put a bigger battery on. Then i realised that i put the wrong way around positive and negative terminals. However it didn't affect to the car as all the electricals are still working, no fuse blew off. Straight away i started up the car and it only cranks... won't start at all.

I checked the fuel system and it's fine, injectors click click.

We tried to push the car straight down from the top of the hill, then put on first gear and rev it up a bit then it suddently start up and idle fine! But if i turn off the key there is no way to start it back on even it cranks.

From what i've tried i can feel the fuel pump working once i turn the key on, haven't check out the spark yet BUT if i roll it, it will start up so i guess there is nothing wrong with spark.

There are some lights on the speedo indicate fuel and water!

I will reset the ECU tonight and see what will happen tomorrow.

Please suggest me what to do! I really stuck...

Thanks guys!

I'd be 99% sure it'd be a fuse, as it's the "first defence" from the terminals.

Did you check all three fue boxes?

-Under the driver side dash

-Next to the battery

-The big black box in the engine bay

It will def be a fuse. You cant put the battery terminals on backwards without blowing something lol. Did the bit spark not give it away? :P

My guess will be one of the "Engine Control" 10A ones under the dash.

Its a long shot but it could possibly be the ignition/ecu relay next to the ecu (big blue ones)

When i soldered a couple of wires without disconnecting the battery i stuffed one of them, i swapped them over and all was good.

when you turn the key to ign you should hear two clicks from the passenger side.

just a possibility ?

      Help needed issue with heater core blower and actuator and need someone to fix this and reinstall dash - 32 - Gtst

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.

      Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"

      Looking at getting a Tesla style Screen for my V37 Skyline.

      By Duncan · Posted

      I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?

      NC MX5

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
